\n

For the past two years, a dedicated and creative group of board members, faculty, and administrators have worked together to envision the future of boys\u2019 education at Trinity-Pawling. Importantly, this visioning process included the creation of a new Mission Statement and Core Values for the School. This new mission is committed to growth, both for our students and for the School.<\/p>\n

MISSION STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trinity-Pawling School will provide an educational experience that makes a transformational difference in the lives of its students by enabling them to discover and pursue their distinctive gifts and talents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CORE VALUES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excellence \u2022 Character \u2022 Community \u2022 Curiosity\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite its aspirational nature, the new mission captures nothing new about the Trinity-Pawling experience. Indeed, it is something that I hear from Trinity-Pawling alumni in almost identical words: “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about the difference Trinity-Pawling made in my life.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

We are excited about our future and the dynamic, forward-thinking initiatives that will help us make a transformational difference in the lives of our students. To learn more about the Strategic Vision for Trinity-Pawling, watch the State of the School Address webinar (<\/a>presented on March 3, 2022) or visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Onward!<\/p>\n

In NESCAC basketball, Sam Peek \u201918 needs no introduction. The senior guard from Wesleyan University dominated the top DIII league in the country this year, and his team\u2019s success certainly followed. Wesleyan hosted the NESCAC tournament, sweeping the field for a conference title in front of 1,300 fans. Just before the tournament, Peek was named the league\u2019s top player.<\/p>\n

After a canceled season due to COVID, Wesleyan returned Peek along with a core of sophomore stars \u2014 now grown into senior form. \u201cI knew I was the leader of the team,\u201d Peek said. \u201cWhich was hard because I had to find the balance of being the man, but also being a team player to let other guys do their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peek had been part of a dynamic group since joining Trinity-Pawling. His senior teammates Nikkei Rutty \u201918 (Monmouth), Beau Smith \u201918 (Babson), and Korey Lee \u201918 (Mercy) have continued to stay in touch throughout their collegiate playing careers.<\/p>\n

Peek\u2019s move from Poughkeepsie public school to Trinity-Pawling was challenging but prepared him to excel in the next chapter as an athlete and student. \u201cThe NEPSAC is super competitive \u2014 coming to T-P was a huge adjustment,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was more physical, guys were more talented.\u201d On the academic side, he explained, \u201cTime management was huge \u2014 with free blocks at T-P, sometimes you got to hang out and sometimes you had to put in more effort to get some work done. It was the first time I had to set my own schedule, so I found the transition [to college] a lot smoother than some kids coming from public school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that his time at Wesleyan has come to an end \u2014 Wesleyan lost to RPI in the NCAA tournament \u2014 Peek is looking ahead to the next steps in his basketball career. Most athletes exit the tournament saying goodbye to their sport, but thanks to COVID, Peek has retained a year of eligibility. Peek took home First Team All-American honors, as announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) on March 16. He hopes to get some looks from Division I coaches for his final year of NCAA eligibility \u2014 prominent 6’5″ shooters who transferred D1 after dominating the NESCAC have ended up in the NBA. No matter where he lands, the Trinity-Pawling community will keep cheering on Peek from Pawling \u2014 Roll Pride!<\/p>\n

\n

As a prefect, Head Editor of The Phoenix<\/em>, and a member of the Honor Council, National Honor Society, and Model United Nations, Francisco Bendezu knows a little something about leadership. Over the course of his years at Trinity-Pawling, Francisco has worked hard to be a stellar student, teammate, and school leader while making meaningful contributions to the campus community. \u201cBeing a student leader has made my senior year a bit more difficult, but also more enriching,\u201d he began. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about what I and others value in leaders, which is something that will certainly continue to be important as I move past T-P.\u201d Now a senior just months away from graduation, Francisco looks back on the last four years with pride and gratitude, and looks forward to a very bright future at Princeton University.<\/p>\n

Francisco\u2019s Early Action commitment to Princeton has certainly been a highlight accomplishment of his senior year. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor. A part of me still can\u2019t really believe it,\u201d he shared, reflecting on the impressive feat of attending an Ivy League school. \u201cIt\u2019s very daunting but also very exciting. I\u2019m looking forward to meeting the professors and students at Princeton, forming relationships, and pushing myself to greater heights.\u201d He will major in comparative literature, with certificate degrees (minors) in creative writing and journalism.<\/p>\n

Since Francisco\u2019s freshman year at Trinity-Pawling, the avid writer and published author has shared his writing expertise with the School community through the student-run newspaper The Phoenix<\/em> \u2014 an experience he has treasured.<\/p>\n

In addition to developing his academic skills and writing style, Francisco is also thankful for the sense of community that Trinity-Pawling has offered over the years. \u201cT-P has exposed me to a vibrant community that encompasses much more than academics. In that sense, the School has prepared me to tackle both college and life from a holistic perspective, which is definitely invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now as he embarks on his final Spring Term in the Pride, Francisco plans to make the most of the last few months on campus. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of the fact that I still push myself to be invested in the community. As a senior, it can be easy to lose motivation when it comes to giving back. I always hoped that I could be present and active and I\u2019ve pushed myself to do that.\u201d What is he most looking forward to for his senior spring? \u201cBeing with my closest friends for a few more weeks and everything that comes with the end of senior year. I can\u2019t wait for things like paintball and mini-golf.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then it\u2019s off to the Ivy League! Please join us in congratulating Francisco\u2026we wish him all the best!<\/p>\n

\n GIVING STREAK<\/a>\n <\/h2>\n\n

When Rich Bello P\u201922 presented to the Leadership Institute at Trinity-Pawling earlier this month, he talked about the importance of creating \u201cstreaks\u201d to achieve peak performance. He said strong leaders understand the value of cultivating \u201ckeystone habits\u201d that inform other positive behaviors and ultimately lead to successful outcomes in our lives. Bello\u2019s advice, if we veer off course: \u201cStart a new streak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Five members of the Class of 2017 have established an impressive streak in support of their alma mater. In each of the five years since they graduated, Ronnie DiMaggio, Will Estony, Jordi Jefferson, Jack Makris, and Hunter Olstein have made a financial contribution to the Trinity-Pawling Fund. Two key indicators of a successful annual fund campaign are the percentage of alumni who contribute and the consistency with which they do so. We asked these young alumni about their motivation to give back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI contribute to the Trinity-Pawling Fund because T-P played an integral role in my personal and academic development and I hope my support can help future T-P brothers realize their potential,\u201d said Jefferson. Jefferson is currently a senior at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. He was recently named to the 2022 NESCAC Men’s Hockey All-Conference team.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if it’s just a new bucket of baseballs for the JV baseball team, I’m happy to give to the Trinity-Pawling Fund in order to help current and future T-P students get as much or more out of Trinity-Pawling as I did,\u201d said DiMaggio. \u201cMy closest friends, some of my fondest memories, invaluable college preparedness, a robust education, and countless general life skills (just this morning I taught a co-worker how to tie a tie!) all came from Trinity-Pawling.\u201d DiMaggio graduated from Gettysburg College in May and is currently pursuing a career in the automotive industry as a product specialist with BMW.<\/p>\n

Jack Makris was a student at Trinity-Pawling for six years and he was elected Head Prefect by his classmates and teachers. Makris’ legacy of giving to the Trinity-Pawling Fund began before he graduated, and he has not missed an opportunity to contribute every year since. Makris has just returned from a deployment in Kenya with the US Army National Guard.<\/p>\n

Will Estony is a software developer from nearby Hopewell Junction, NY, who learned to code while he was a day student at Trinity-Pawling. \u201cI felt very well-prepared for college and I\u2019m very appreciative of the foundational skills I learned at T-P.\u201d Estony also worked as a phone-a-thon volunteer in the Office of Advancement when he was a student, where he said he learned the importance of contributing to the Trinity-Pawling Fund. \u201cI remember there was an emphasis on giving any amount. It was more about the relationships and making a connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter Olstein cites his appreciation for the faculty as the impetus for his generosity. \u201cThe Trinity-Pawling faculty inspires me to give back, as even after graduation they continue to stay involved in our lives. Their passion and commitment to the students are immeasurable.\u201d Olstein works on documentary films as a production assistant and video editor. He has been living between Seattle, Washington D.C., and Colorado.<\/p>\n

These gentlemen from the Class of 2017 are an inspiring example of the core values of Trinity-Pawling School. We are grateful to them for their generosity and proud of their accomplishments.<\/p>\n

When Jen Grahn joined Trinity-Pawling\u2019s Center for Learning Achievement in 2020, she brought with her a compassionate, open-minded, and student-centered approach to teaching. \u201cEvery student is unique and should be embraced for who they are. The students are my focus and I always want them to see my classroom as a safe place,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt is my job to ensure that every student is learning and to help them overcome any challenges they may face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jen currently teaches Reading Comprehension and Executive Skills in the Center for Learning Achievement (CLA). As both an educator and a parent, she recognizes the importance of placing students at the center of the learning experience. Teaching in the CLA, she said, allows her to do just that. \u201cThe small class sizes allow me to get to know each and every student and build a trusting relationship. It is so rewarding to see them grow and flourish throughout the school year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CLA at Trinity-Pawling gives students the strategic support and skills they need to thrive, both academically and personally. Jen and her colleagues \u2014 an all-star team of educators \u2014 go above and beyond to prepare their students for success in college and life after Trinity-Pawling. Now in her second full year of teaching, Jen is grateful to be surrounded by such a supportive and collaborative team as they propel the CLA\u2019s signature programs forward. \u201cThe CLA is a special place that I have been so lucky to be part of. We all work so well together to help the boys in the program. It has been amazing to see the growth of the students and the collaboration of our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being a teacher, Jen is also a current parent at Trinity-Pawling. When it comes to the educational experience for her son Aidan \u201924, it\u2019s the student-centered nature of the School that continues to make all the difference. \u201cThe campus community is a nurturing environment that allows all the students and faculty to connect in so many ways. I love how every child is seen as an individual and given so many opportunities,\u201d Jen concluded. \u201cAs a parent, I am so happy that my son is surrounded by such kindness and always held to high standards. As an educator, I am inspired by the leadership that goes into every day and which always has the student\u2019s best interest at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of the classroom, Jen enjoys hiking, skiing, biking, going to the beach, and adventuring with her four children. She lives locally in Pawling.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the entire Trinity-Pawling community, we extend a heartfelt thank you to Jen for her ongoing dedication to the Center for Learning Achievement and Trinity-Pawling as a whole!<\/p>\n

Trinity-Pawling\u2019s varsity soccer program has officially partnered with SoccerViza \u2014 Costa Rica\u2019s independent professional player development program and training center. Starting in August 2022, each summer, the varsity team will participate in 10 days of preseason training in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Under the leadership of SoccerViza\u2019s Head Coach Joe Funicello and his staff, the Pride will train twice a day, practicing with and competing against SoccerViza\u2019s third division professional team. The team will also play six different games against other professional Costa Rican teams. When they are not training, the boys will have the opportunity to explore the beautiful sights of Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis experience will be extraordinary for the boys,\u201d shared Head Coach Sal Zani. \u201cIt will be great team bonding, as well as personal growth for them on and off the field. I\u2019m super excited to see the development of the team going into the fall season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur coaches and staff have already begun planning for Trinity-Pawling\u2019s preseason needs and we can\u2019t wait to get started,\u201d added Funicello of SoccerViza. \u201cIt will be great for them to practice in a professional environment as they prepare for the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\n

This exciting new partnership will allow Trinity-Pawling soccer players to train with some of the best soccer players and coaches in the game \u2014 while taking their own skills to the next level. Thank you to Coach Zani and everyone at SoccerViza for the incredible opportunity. Roll Pride!<\/p>\n

Jersey boys hang together, and that bond only intensifies when both belong to the Trinity-Pawling brotherhood. Varsity hockey captain Tyler Fogu \u201922 hails from Bayonne, New Jersey, and he learned of a HALT ALS fundraiser at Codey Arena in West Orange, New Jersey in November. \u201cIt was a hockey game with former NHL players, teammates, friends, and celebrities who all know Chris Tschupp \u201990, and they came together to support his cause. I decided to create a similar event here at Trinity-Pawling this winter.\u201d That evolved into Tyler\u2019s Senior Independent Project. \u201cChris was a standout athlete at Trinity-Pawling and a fellow New Jersey guy, so I wanted to do whatever I could to help him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Standout athlete indeed. Named an All-American prep school hockey player in 1990, the left-winger from Toms River, New Jersey was drafted to the Calgary Flames that same year. He delayed his professional hockey career for a few years to play at Notre Dame. However, the NHL lockout in 1994-95 altered his plans further, and Chris spent two years in the East Coast Hockey League.<\/p>\n

What happened in 1996 is the stuff of fairy tales. Chris left hockey and spent the next 20 years as a world-famous model working for all the big names: Calvin Klein, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Rolex, Land Rover. The list goes on and on. Then came an acting career along with writing for television and film.<\/p>\n

What happened in 2019 is the stuff of nightmares. Chris was diagnosed with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease); doctors gave him two to five years to live. But anyone who knows Chris Tschupp knows he\u2019s a fighter, and he has spent the last three years battling the odds and fighting the as-yet incurable disease. He has committed to experimental therapies and is determined to raise awareness and funds to combat ALS.<\/p>\n

Here on campus, Tyler Fogu reached out to the HALT ALS organization in early winter who helped him orchestrate an event held on Saturday, February 19, as the Trinity-Pawling icemen faced (and trounced) Hotchkiss. A number of Chris\u2019s classmates showed up, including Pat Cook, Wayne Conlan, and Tommy Seitz. \u201cMr. Foster and Coach Gillman arranged for special red jerseys with \u2018Tschupp\u2019 on the back,\u201d Tyler explained. \u201cOur players wore the jerseys, and people could buy a jersey as well. HALT ALS staged a silent auction and had sports memorabilia for sale, with funds going to support the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the puck drop, we wheeled Chris out onto the ice during the national anthem. He was really moved. During the game, we could see him smiling like crazy and giving us fist pumps. Chris and I have communicated through emails since the event, and he was really appreciative of what we did. I guess I\u2019ve learned through Chris that you need to live each day like it\u2019s your last.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Chris Tschupp, he\u2019s looking forward to returning to campus later this spring to attend a lacrosse game and mini-reunion organized by his brothers in the classes of 1990 and 1991. So if you see a smiling gentleman in a wheelchair proudly wearing his Trinity-Pawling gear, stop by and give him a fist bump. Whether you\u2019re from the Garden State or not.<\/p>\n

WINTER SPORTS WRAP-UP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrestling <\/strong><\/p>\n

Devon Diaco \u201922 won New Englands \u2014 defeating the wrestler who beat him in the Western New England finals a week before in double OT \u2014 and was voted by coaches as the Most Outstanding Wrestler. This is the first Most Outstanding Wrestler at New England\u2019s for Trinity-Pawling since Kyle Palmer in 2009. Congratulations to Devon Diaco! Kyle Lee \u201922 also placed 5th in the New England tournament. Both Kyle and Devon also qualified for the National Prep Tournament. Kyle went 2-2 and Devon went 3-2. Both fell short of All-American placing but wrestled well throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

Varsity Basketball <\/strong><\/p>\n

The varsity basketball team finished the season 10-6 in Class A competition, and 12-9 overall. Captains Nzube Mekkam \u201922 (12.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg) and DeAndre Williams \u201923 (16.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 4.5 apg) led the team through exciting home wins, challenging losses on the road, and an excellent showing despite falling to St. Sebastian\u2019s in Needham, MA in the conference quarterfinals. Postgraduates Austin Williams and Sean Conroy contributed with consistent scoring and strong defense, bolstered by the rim defense of Mikkel Cintron \u201922 who was the team\u2019s blocks leader. The Pride also saw contributions from Bryan Lee \u201923, Amadin Collete-Ighele \u201923, Justin Umunakwe \u201923, and future big-man Vincent Chaudhri \u201925. The success of Coach Tarik Smith\u2019s first year at the helm proved exciting for the School community, as they look towards returning stars and a ride to the playoffs once again.<\/p>\n

JV Basketball <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trinity-Pawling JV basketball team completed a very successful season. Despite injuries and illnesses, the team ended with a 10-4 record. The Pride played with a focus on effort and defense throughout the season, and many of their wins came from pressure defense. Captains Matt Yamin \u201922 and Garrett Backus \u201923 showed leadership and skill throughout the season. Freshmen Jace Emerson, Gianni Fidanza, and Ryan Bellamy all made significant contributions throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Varsity Hockey<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pride finished the season with a record of 8-16-1. There were many key victories for the Pride this season over highly competitive teams. Growing pains were a key reason for some of the struggles this year, as 20 out of the 26 players were new to prep hockey. The Pride will only graduate six players this May, so the team looks to build off this season with heavy contributors to the prep scene next year. The Pride found its stride in the middle of the season, downing St. Paul’s School to close out the 2021 calendar year. The Pride earned some key victories over challenging teams in the next stretch \u2014 defeating Kent, Lawrenceville, The Frederick Gunn School, and Hoosac. Down the final stretch of the season, the team played 8 games in 16 days. The final week of hockey for Trinity-Pawling saw big wins over Taft on the road, and Hotchkiss at home: an exciting 8-4 victory in a charity game honoring Chris Tschupp \u201990, who is battling ALS. The lineup for the Pride saw many contribute to the score sheet, which looks promising for the years ahead. Seniors Dario Cantini (G), Michael Santonelli (D – 8 points), Gavin Bloder (F – 23 points), Justin Bello (F – 4 points), Captain Adam Franasiak (F – 2 points), and Captain Ryan Walker (F – 20 points) will be missed.<\/p>\n

JV Hockey<\/strong><\/p>\n

The JV hockey team concluded their season with a six-game winning streak to finish 9-3-1. As with all good hockey teams, success begins in the net where PJ Angotti \u201924 and Marcelo Saviano \u201924 split the duties. The two were quiet leaders and stout netminders, whose calm and consistent play anchored a talented defense. The defense was led by Michael Blaymires \u201922 and Avery Ferraris \u201924 who logged many minutes of even play while anchoring the man up and man down units. The Pride allowed over four goals only twice in thirteen games. Offensively, the Pride was led by Joe Porto \u201922 and Milan Kumenah \u201923, who were regular scorers and playmakers.<\/p>\n

Varsity Squash <\/strong><\/p>\n

The top player for varsity squash was Jesus Fierro \u201924 who played No. 1 all year. While he only won 2 matches, he played against some of the top players in New England tournament. Other notable players were Shun Shiraishi \u201923, who won 2 matches as he advanced from No. 5 to No. 3 over the course of the year, and Francisco Bendezu \u201922 who also won 2 matches, including the last match of his Trinity-Pawling career against Millbrook to end with a great statement. The squash team ended with a 1-14 record. At the New England tournament, the team was presented with the Sportsmanship Award, Congratulations gentlemen!<\/p>\n

JV Squash <\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Link \u201922 and Nick Gimbel \u201923 did a great job at the top of the JV ladder. Carson Sibilio \u201923 was an awesome flex contributor who played anywhere from the No. 1 to the No. 4 for the Pride, and Brayden Lahey \u201924 also showed a lot of improvement.<\/p>\n

PRIDE ATHLETES TRAVEL TO FLORIDA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Varsity Lacrosse<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Trinity-Pawling varsity lacrosse team landed on the Gulf Shore over Spring Break this month for a game against collegiate players at the University of Tampa. The boys had a great first game \u2014 they dropped the scrimmage 11-10, yet experienced some great learning moments along the way. Upon returning home, the team played Noble and Greenough School and showed their plans to dominate in New England this spring. Up 3-0 in the first quarter, the Pride extended their lead to 6-3 at halftime and won by a 13-7 final score. The defense played a great four quarters and the Pride saw goals from returning offensive stars Tucker Kellogg \u201923, Brayden Lahey \u201924, and PG Jake Likes \u201922.
